Hi

Please consider adding machine type to the OS section of the machine
definition file for kvm

Shank

For example, in my template definition I have

OS=[BOOT="hd",ARCH="x86_64"]

But I should be able to use, currently machine is ignored.

OS=[BOOT="hd",MACHINE="q35",ARCH="x86_64"]

Qemu is currently adding a new machine type to the list, the ICH9 chipset,
the ubuntu 13.04 qemu comes with

none                 empty machine
pc                   Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (alias of
pc-i440fx-1.4)
pc-i440fx-1.4        Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (default)
pc-1.3               Standard PC
pc-1.2               Standard PC
pc-1.1               Standard PC
pc-1.0               Standard PC
pc-0.15              Standard PC
pc-0.14              Standard PC
pc-0.13              Standard PC
pc-0.12              Standard PC
pc-0.11              Standard PC, qemu 0.11
pc-0.10              Standard PC, qemu 0.10
isapc                ISA-only PC
xenfv                Xen Fully-virtualized PC
q35                  Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) (alias of pc-q35-1.4)
pc-q35-1.4           Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009)
xenpv                Xen Para-virtualized PC

But notice the default is still the i440fx chipset. The new q35 emulated
machine provides better support for pci-express pass-through.
